Quick Patches, Week 3 - Tomb of Laments

19 Sep, 2026

We're on Week 3 of the Patch Project. I have other projects, but nothing to really share right now.

Inverted Museum - Tomb of Laments

W3-01 - A Silent Mausoleum

A mausoleum complex, a marble structure with a white roof. The Door at the front is closed. The marble is engraved with a man in regal clothes, wearing a set of masks in panorama around his head. He holds a rapier. The room is supernaturally quiet, and is quite small save for the structure.

Door: Engraved in cursive Twylith - "When the hourglass has drank it's fill, seek me out"
- The door to this tomb isn't currently open, as the prince isn't dead.
- When open, stairs down are revealed.

W3-02 - Procession of Memories

A Silent walkway, straight with no visible bends. The walls are decorated with complex mosaics of pretty polished stone. It smells of nothing distinct.

Bends: When the party arrives to the centre of the room, the hallway bends in on itself impossibly. Parties must save or else become horribly nauseous (or Stressed in HMTW).
Mosaics: The mosaics depict the Prince of Many Faces, his panoramic mask a pristine white. They depict his birth to an elf and a human, his life fighting evils in the overworld, and his eventual death (highly accurate, impossible to have been made this quickly. If the PCs were involved, they're depicted as obviously evil.)

W3-03 - The Reflection Hall

Empty A great and empty hall, held up with Pillars of marble. The floor is a tiled pattern of immaculately cut stone. In the land of the dead, this is immaculately new. North face of the wall is three doors, evenly spaced.

Pillars: Can be pushed over with enough effort, should the party lure something into them.
Doors: Western, Central and Eastern.
- Western and Eastern doors are unlocked metal doors that lead to 04 and 05 respectively.
- The Central door leads to 06, but it is currently Locked. There is an etching maiden with her hands gripping two objects.
  - Retrieve the keys from 04 and 05.

W3-04 - The Sword

Monster A hall lined with intricate patterns. Mural of the prince in fine paints on the back wall. Pedestal in the middle of the room.

Mural: Depicts the prince in combat with a dragon, mask in a configuration of pure joy.
Pedestal: Holds an effigy of a Sword made out of Stone.
- Inscryption in common: "Declare your challenge and face your fears."
- Sword Effigy: Won't be released until the challenge is beaten. Resists being taken from the tomb magnetically. Isn't that effective as a sword.
Challenge: When one person declares they accept challenge, a ring appears in the center of the room, with the pedestal as the center point.
- A Knight appears, and will disappear instantly if anyone breaks the circle once the challenge begins formally. It bows, and declares this a mortal duel.
- When beaten, an audible click is heard.

W3-05 - The Wand

Monster Mural of the prince in sorcerous practice, waving a wand at a cauldron. A Pedestal occupies the back wall.

Mural: Mural depicting the prince trying to cast a spell. His face is forelorn. Across the cauldron from him, a woman people with relevant knowledge would identify as his sister.
Pedestal: Holds an effigy of a Wand made out of Regular Wood..
- Inscryption in common: "I am given in trust, and taken in desperation. If you want me, you shouldn't have me. What am I?"
  - The answer is Power.
- Wand Effigy: Won't be released until the riddle is beaten. Resists being taken from the tomb magnetically. Does not function as a wand.

W3-06 - The Joys Formidable

Treasure A serene room with a pool in the middle, a walkway leading from the side you enter from towards an island in the center. On the island, Ten Gems form a circle around the Panorama Mask.

Gems - Worth 150gp (15 per) in total. Small, can stack in tens.
Panorama Mask: A Triadic Mask of Joy, Misery and Anger.
- Once per delve (or day), the mask can be used to inspire Joy, Sadness or Anger.
- Worth a lot to the right buyer. Will make enemies of the Prince's father and the Queen of Elves.
